Immediate Addressing
Direct Addressing

Register Addressing
Register Indirect Addressing
Displacement Addressing
—Relative Addressing
—Base-Register Addressing
—Indexed Addressing
• Stack Addressing
Immediate Addressing
• Operand is part of instruction
• Operand = address field
• e.g. ADD 5
—Add 5 to contents of accumulator
—5 is operand
• No memory reference to fetch data
• Fast
• Limited range

Instruction

Operand
Direct Addressing
• Address field contains address of operand
• Effective address EA = address field A
• e.g. ADD A
—Add contents of cell A to accumulator
—Look in memory at address A for operand
• Single memory reference to access data
• No additional calculations to work out effective
address
• Limited address space

Instruction
Opcode
Address A
Memory
Operand
Indirect Addressing (1)
• Memory cell pointed to by address field contains
the address of (pointer to) the operand
• EA = (A)
—Look in A, find address (A) and look there for
operand
• e.g. ADD (A)
—Add contents of cell pointed to by contents of A to
accumulator
(X) : Content of location X or register X
Indirect Addressing (2)
• Large address space
• 2N where N = word length
• May be nested, multilevel, cascaded
—e.g. EA = (((A)))
– Draw the diagram yourself
• Multiple memory accesses to find operand
• Hence slower

Operand
Register Addressing (1)
• Operand is held in register named in address
filed
• EA = R
• Limited number of registers
• Very small address field needed
—Shorter instructions
—Faster instruction fetch
Register Addressing (2)
•
•
•
•
No memory access
Very fast execution
Very limited address space
Multiple registers helps performance
—Requires good assembly programming or compiler
writing
—N.B. C programming
– register int a;
• c.f. Direct addressing

Operand
Register Indirect Addressing
• C.f. indirect addressing
• EA = (R)
• Operand is in memory cell pointed to by
contents of register R
• Large address space (2N)
• One fewer memory access than indirect
addressing

Operand
Displacement Addressing
• EA = A + (R)
• Address field hold two values
—A = base value
—R = register that holds displacement
—or vice versa

Relative Addressing
•
•
•
•
A version of displacement addressing
R = Program counter, PC
EA = A + (PC)
i.e. get operand from A cells from current
location pointed to by PC
• c.f locality of reference & cache usage

Operand
Base-Register Addressing
•
•
•
•
A holds displacement
R holds pointer to base address
R may be explicit or implicit
e.g. segment registers in 80x86
Indexed Addressing
•
•
•
•
A = base
R = displacement
EA = A + (R)
Good for accessing arrays
—EA = A + (R)
—(R) = (R) +1
Combinations
• Postindex
• EA = (A) + (R)
• Preindex
• EA = (A+(R))
• (Draw the diagrams)
Postindex: EA = (A) + (R)

Stack Addressing
• Operand is (implicitly) on top of stack
• e.g.
—ADD
Pop top two items from stack
and add

Pentium Addressing Modes
• Virtual or effective address is offset into segment
— Starting address plus offset gives linear address
— This goes through page translation if paging enabled
• 12 addressing modes available
— Immediate
— Register operand
— Displacement
— Base
— Base with displacement
— Scaled index with displacement
— Base with index and displacement
— Base scaled index with displacement
— Relative
